Antonee Robinson was a spectator for Fulham over the past two matches, but returned to Scott Parker’s starting lineup on Saturday and helped the relegation-threatened side pick up an important home victory.
Robinson went the distance in a 1-0 win over last place Sheffield United, helping Fulham move to three points from safety in the English Premier League. The 23-year-old left back won four of his six individual duels and three aerial battles, while also making four headed clearances and making one interception.
Robinson helped the London-based club extend its current unbeaten run to four matches in league play, now heading into a London Derby against Crystal Palace on Sunday. The U.S. Men’s National Team defender will look to make his 20th league appearance of the season at Selhurst Park next weekend.
Elsewhere, Duane Holmes scored his first two goals for Huddersfield Town while Aron Johannsson scored in his debut with Polish side Lech Poznan. Chris Richards and Josh Sargent went head-to-head in Bundesliga action. Tyler Adams registered one assist in RB Leipzig’s lopsided road victory over Hertha Berlin.

I watched the Dortmund – Schalke game, and I think Gio is going to be riding the pine for a while. Now that they’ve moved Sancho centrally (and he got a goal and assist), I don’t see Gio starting over him. Long term? Not a huge deal, as Sancho is leaving. But I think this will show Gio he needs to be a bit more aggressive and force the action. A lot of time he lets the game come to him, which is smooth and impressive at his age, but competition will force him to step it up a notch.
